Temperamentally I'm not a natural producer, because I don't have the patience.

I've done classical theaters. I played Hamlet myself and Romeo.

For me the rehearsal period is the part I most enjoy. It's the creating of the story.

I've always had a 'Work hard, play hard' attitude to life - I still do - but sometimes you get involved in something that needs a calm, methodical approach.

I guess I'm just good at playing repressed individuals. I'm lucky because those are often the roles that catch people's eyes.

I've had loss in my life, and I like to think my mother's energy lives on in some faintly Buddhist way. I do find some comfort there.

You know what it's like to feel anxious - it's horrible feeling anxious. It's stressful having that feeling, having butterflies in your stomach, even for a day, and you don't sleep at night.
